Commented Sylosis guitarist Josh Middleton: "We're really excited to be going on tour with Fear Factory. It'll be cool to see Dino [Cazares, guitar] back on stage with Burton [C. Bell, vocals]. Gene Hoglan [drms] is also one of our heroes, so it'll be awesome to share some beers."
Sylosis's "After Lifeless Years" video can be viewed below. The song comes off the band's 2008 debut, "Conclusion Of An Age", which was released via Nuclear Blast Records.
Sylosis entered the studio on November 13, 2009 to begin recording its second album for an early 2010 release via Nuclear Blast . The CD is being produced by Scott Atkins, who previously worked with the band on their debut.
Commented mainman Josh Middleton: ""The songs are a little longer this time around and a bit more complex and technical which is something that's just happened naturally."
"We contemplated using other producers but we all really enjoyed working with Scott and we were really happy with the production on the last album. He really pushes for tightness and understands where we're coming from musically.
"In terms of the production, this time we're going to aim for a much more organic, raw sound. Rob's really progressed as a drummer in the last year so I can't wait to hear him lay this stuff down in the studio. Once the drums are complete, we head off on tour with Dragonforce so we wont end up recording the guitars, bass and vocals etc. until January."
The iTunes version of "Conclusion Of An Age" included the exclusive bonus track "The Fate Of Vultures".
An e-card for the for "Conclusion Of An Age" is available at this location.
Sylosis' musical style was described in a previous press release as "brutal, technical and deceptively melodic modern metal that favours invention over cliché and never shies away from nimble shifts in style, tempo or mood. The quintet manage to bring an epic, technical and melodic feel to the old-school thrash sound, combining incredible guitar solos and bloodlust vocals. The outcome, a sound that is both devastatingly feral and blisteringly precise."
